You have not included a directory path in path.config so it is looking in the root directory. Is that where the configuration file is?

> [@](#):
>
> path =\> "Z:\GTF\_Hack\GTF\_Hack\_result.csv"

Do not use backslash in the path option of a file input, it is treated as an escape. Use forward slash.
